Well, I totally loved this chapter. It was really well done, it was thrilling and surprising and amazing. I had to keep reading it until the end, even if I should be sleeping, because I couldn’t stop. It was just so nice to read. I think you’re ready to write original stories that can be published, because you already reached a good level of plot development and character development. And also, you’re writing flows really smoothly, your narrative and descriptions are good. I confess that I felt really sad when you mentioned that it became a stressful thing to write SxS and you probably wouldn’t write another multi-chapter fic. You’re one of the reasons I’m still into this fandom and, as it was my favorite for ten years, I felt somewhat hopeless. But I’m still glad that you won’t give up on the fandom, and you’ll be writing some stories. You know, I never thought that you were using some ideas that could have been original stories in your SxS fics. I just realized it now o_o. It’s just that I think about writing some original stories of my own too, but the ideas are kept separately in my brain xD Like: this idea is for fics, and this other idea is for an original story. But then my ideas for original stories are very different from the ideas I have for fics... But it got me hoping that maybe you could have good ideas for both things, as you are so talented and come up with lots of good plots.
You know, I think it’s good to have some time to do other things that you like and have fun ^^ I think that it’s refreshing and make you come back with more motivation for writing. And I’m really glad you found a job that you’re loving!
I’ll be waiting for the last chapter of OWS and I want you to know that I support you in whatever decision you take.

I'm so happy that you enjoyed the chapter, even though it ended up depriving you of sleep. It's an encouraging comment to hear that my writing has reached the point in which it's smooth to read and hard to put down. That's really all I want. I have read so many books that I have loved and couldn't stop reading, and I would love nothing more than to bring that same experience to other readers.
Really, it's my own fault that writing SxS has become stressful. I always put too much stress on myself when it comes to tasks, whether it's doing my job, cleaning the house, or doing a hobby. I think taking some time off and stepping away from SxS will help. And come on, we all know that my 'original' stories are basically SxS, just with different names. ;) I can't help it, I love the rivalry type of relationship and the pairing of opposites. Heck, oceanserpent mentioned that I should rewrite 'Bloody Tyr' as a full novel and I'm very, very tempted. It'd certainly be an easy start to writing something of my own.
Thank you for being so supportive! I'm definitely feeling more refreshed after taking some time from writing. This last month has been crazy, really. I've enjoyed many nights out with friends, I've watched "Tiger and Bunny" (I haven't watched a new series since "Baccano!"), and I've spent more time on cleaning the house and chucking some clutter. It's been good, and I can feel the writing bug coming back already. I think this should be a good year!
